Quote: "To laugh often and much;/ To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;/To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; /To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;/To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;/To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded" - Emerson
